Drug traffickers target chopper, apparently mistaking it for police

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - Not even Santa Claus is safe as the violent Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro celebrates the Christmas season.

Drug traffickers in a Rio slum opened fire on a helicopter carrying a Santa to a children's party, apparently mistaking it for a police helicopter, police said on Tuesday.

The helicopter had to return to its base after the attack.

Two bullet holes were found in its fuselage.

Most of Rio's 700-plus slums are controlled by drug traffickers and are not regularly patrolled by police, who instead go into the slums in military-style raids, often using helicopters and armored vehicles.

1. Santa needs to mount a 30mm automatic Boeing M230 chain gun on his helicopter

Which provides a rate of fire of 625 rounds per minute.
